Hi all.
I don't know if anyone else asked this question but i need a free and accessible website to create my discussion group.
I already used msn groups but i am not happy with them. MSN seams to have some issues.
First of all they seam to remember the information from a user and when somebody else tries to use another group on msn the two people's information get mixed up. That's what i realised anyway.
Also emails or request from people to join sometimes don't get through. For example people tried to join but i never got their requests in my inbox or messages that group members created.
Yahoo groups seams very reliable and accessible but they have got the verification code so it makes it difficult for somebody to join. However yahoo stuff are very happy to help and create the account for us.
What about google groups? Is it accessible to the blind?
And if there are any other websites please list them here with comments of how accessible they are etc.
Thanks

There's freeLists.org. Alternatively, you could run list management software (such as mailman).

freelists.org is good. The only problem I have had with them is that they seem to be on one of these spam killer lists that isps like to use and sometimes some people may not get group emails. At least that has been my experience with them.

However, they are a lot easier to use than any other group I've seen.
